I have greatly enjoyed my time in the Reserve, and have tried to make the most of it, but let's face it...I'm not a part time kind of soldier. I have a desire for something more. I've contacted recruiters and keep a close eye on the HRC Business Rules, however it seems as if it won't happen anytime soon. Are any of the other branches accepting prior service? I'm open to reclassing although I thoroughly enjoy my MOS.

SSG Toryn Green The best place to start is at the Recruiting Office. We see many OSVETs (Other Service Veterans) transition into the Active Component all the time. If you have your heart set on a certain branch then it will just depend on their quotas and availability. Here are a few links for information on transitioning into the Navy. I hope they help!

It's been awhile but when I was a recruiter returning reservists were given one option. Their MOS. Maybe a few options for assignments. I think we called them paper contracts or something. Release from your unit, height, weight, blood pressure, orders to report to Fort Whatever. I wish you luck. Maybe the draw-down is getting you.

I would add that I am an 88N. In the civilian world I work as a Logistics Analyst. Hoping there's some recruiters out there that can chime in with some good info.
